At the reference area, much of the cover is in woody plants (shrubs or subshrubs). <br />Approximately 10% of the ground is covered by vegetation that actually contacts the <br />surface, although the actual cover is 22.67%. Using the Table 7 row for short brush <br />(0.5 meter fall height) and a canopy cover of SOgo, an interpolation between the value <br />of 0.26 at uro ground cover and 0.13 for 20% ground cover can be made for a ground <br />cover of 10%. This results in a CP factor of 0.195. <br />At Area 1, the total vegetation cover amount is approximately the same as the reference <br />azea, but a much higher percentage of the cover is graminoids and forts, which contact <br />the ground surface to a much greater degree. Therefore, the CP factor chosen for <br />Area 1 is 0.14 which is slightly higher than the amount shown for 20% ground contact <br />cover in the same row as that described for the reference azea. <br />At Area 2, a similar situation to Area 1 is present where the predominant cover is <br />provided by graminoids and forts, therefore, a CP of 0.14 is also selected for Area 2. <br />It is reasonable to expect that the CP factors for the reclaimed areas will be lower than <br />the reference azea since the vegetation levels are approximately equal but the reclaimed <br />areas have a much higher proportion of grasses that wntact the ground surface. <br />III.
